File Number: 22-458 there are important principles to consider when picking the right model. Some of those principles include independence from law enforcement, a defined purpose, transparent scope of authority, access to records, regular contact with executive level staff and SLPD internal affairs, ongoing community engagement and participation, funding based on needs, analysis of policies and patterns, transparency and reporting. The City Council subsequently held a work session on February 22, 2021, where a presentation was provided on alternative oversight model options, the strengths and weaknesses of those models, as well as best practices and frameworks. At the conclusion of the meeting the City Council directed staff to move forward with a hybrid model, consisting of two integrated components: a Community Police Review Board (CPRB) and an Independent Police Auditor (IPA). Over the subsequent months, City staff conducted extensive research and analysis and engaged with the community to develop a hybrid model and incorporate public feedback. Related efforts included reaching out to staff counterparts at other public agencies to identify best practices and lessons learned and meeting with various community stakeholders. On October 16 and 21, 2021, City staff and the OIR Group also hosted two community forums to discuss the proposed hybrid model elements. The forums were well attended by the public and provided an opportunity for community members to gain a more complete understanding of police oversight’s various elements, along with an opportunity to provide feedback. Staff also engaged in legally required good faith meet and confer negotiations with the City’s represented employee organizations, as the structure of the model could have impacts on the working conditions of their members. Outreach and discussions with the represented employee organizations were conducted from November 2021 through January 2022. No significant changes to the model were necessary. At the March 21, 2022 City Council meeting, City staff presented to the City Council and the community a draft ordinance. Following robust discussion and after incorporating revisions, the City Council ultimately adopted the ordinance on April 4, 2022. Consistent with the adopted ordinance, City staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) in spring 2022 in order to invite applications from firms interested in serving as the Independent Police Auditor (IPA), which were due back to the City in June 2022. A copy of the RFP, which includes a detailed overview of the IPA’s primary duties, is attached to this report. Three firms ultimately submitted applications in response to the RFP. City staff carefully reviewed the three proposals and conducted interviews with the three applicant teams in late June 2022. Consistent with the RFP, their proposals were evaluated and scored according to the criteria copied below. City staff also conducted relevant due diligence and reference checks. Evaluation Criteria included: ·Costs ·Qualifications and experience ·Ability to provide the scope of services ·Overall quality of proposal Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/6/2022
